This witbier pours an opaque deep orange color. A big foamy head is produced as well as some slight lacing. The smell was malt and apricot. Taste was similar with a strong malt breadiness up front which yielded to apricot and essences of spices. There was a slight, very slight metallic character to this beer. The mouthfeel was a bit over carbonated, but overall it was pleasant on the tongue. This is a great beer. I'd surely buy more.

Bought 6 pack of 12oz bottles from Martignetti's
Poured murky yellowish-orange color with excellent head retention.
Citrusy, orange/lemon fruit like smell
Taste is clean, smooth and refreshing citrus flavors with a malty aftertaste. A little on the watery, light side. Detracts from flavor but makes the beer easier to pound down. Perfect for a 70 degree afternoon Spring day.
Overall nothing spectacular as it's fairly similar to a lot of other Belgian style ales. I'd still recommend it if you're eating a big meal and want to save room for the food.

Poured out a mad cloudy orangish hue with a nice bit of head. Smell of typical belgian brews i would guess to be esters.Taste is a bit sour no hops noticable just ok.Mouthfeel is mediocre at best. Not a big fan of this brew isnt terrible but isnt worth mentioning either.

This beer has an interesting goldenrod sort of color, making it easy to tell its a wheat beer, as if the style didn't give it away. Being a wheat beer, and an unfiltered one, there is a bit of sediment whirling around as well, but thats not a bad thing. The head is decent, quite white with lots of lace. The aroma of this beer is quite delicious, unfortunately a bit better than that of the beer itself in my opinion, quite sweet with a taste of spices, unusual but in a good way, I think. It tastes very wheaty, with the spices quite evident, don't ask me to name them, my cooking skills are limited to ramen and mac & cheese, but its good... it finishes somewhat sweet and spicy, but with a mild hint of hops to balance it out. It's better than say, Blue Moon, but its not on par with an actual Belgian Wit. This beer has a bit of an unusual mouthfeel; fairly slick, kind of like some sort of petrochemical product.. it could be worse, though. All in all, I think this is a very drinkable beer, especially with pepper jack cheese, mmm... It certainly isn't a beer I have to struggle to finish.

Presentation: Full 20 ounce Pint sampled at the Mile High Grille located in Concourse B at Denver International Airport whilst waiting for a flight back to LAX. I had already tried the local tap offering on the outward bound leg of my journey, so for the return leg I opted for the offering on the Seasonal Sam Adams Tap, White Ale as it happened.

Appearance: Very hazed yeasty orange-golden body. Minimal head on the pour, thin white cap that breaks and leaves a halo like head. Despite the poor head the carbonation levels are surprisingly good. If I marked the appearance based on the look of a fellow traveler sat next to me who was drinking a bottle of Michelob Ultra, it would be a 1.0 hands down, nevertheless, as a lover of many styles of beers even I have to admit the appearance was poor at best.

Nose: Repressed but concentration when inhaling revealed peeled oranges and a spicy tart nose. Sharp yeasty body with some pepper.

Taste: Yeasty and Fruity feel throughout. Orange and coriander with some black pepper. Quiet zesty at first, finishes with a wheat and yeast feel. Low profile finish is forgetful.

Mouthfeel: Amazingly, despite the flat look, it has a rather lively well-carbonated feel on the tongue. Reasonable body and feel.

Drinkability: Polished off the Pint with a few minutes to spare before I had to leave for the short walk to Gate B38. An easy way to fill 25 minutes but needs more work I think to make it appealing.

Overall: Not bad, but not great. It doesnt disappoint but fails to excite. Another one of Sam Adams so-so seasonal brews that I will always go for at Airport Bars in preference to the Big3, but given some serious Belgian Wit competition it would all by the wayside immediately.

Light amber in coloration, sediment falls to the bottom, some remains in a colloidal solution. Cloudy. Head almost non-existent, but the lace manages to linger. The drinker can smell hops and malt. Tastes peppery, a hint of grapefruit, and I dare say a hint of mint--but very little malt in the taste. Citrus-hops flavor (chiefly grapefruit). Very little stimulation on the palate, minus the sweet front. In the mouth Sam's White Ale bubbles ferociously--to an unpleasant degree. BBC makes far better beers, from my own personal experience.

Poured out to a cloudy orange amber color, with a touch of sediment finding it's way to the bottom of the glass. Strong odors of herbs and earth, with a slighly sweet character. Flavors of spices and citrus with a bit of bite on the finish. A fair offering from Sam Adams. Not a favorite, but a worthy brew.

Appearance: Thick, pillowy, dense head on the pour, sitting atop a hazy golden brew with substantial carbonation. Some lacing effects. Not bad.

Aroma: Fresh wheat malt in the nose, supported by esters and a grassy hoppiness. Smells crisp.

Taste: Paper-thin mouthfeel accomodates an equally thin flavor profile. Citrusy, grassy notes compliment the wheat malt, but everything is insubstantial. This is a beer for mass consumption, and it shows in the fact that it takes no chances daring to show the drinker something new. Aftertaste is a bit soapy, but otherwise finishes with a whimper.

Drinkability: Certainly drinkable, and better than most domestic macro offerings out there, but why would the experienced beer drinker waste time with this when there's better representatives of the style out there? Use this to break your Bud Light swilling friends in gently to the world of different beer styles, but move on quickly.

Cloudy, very pale amber-orange color with a lot of carbonation and a decent puffy head. This is a nice-looking brew. Generous wheat-like citrus in the aroma lemon, orange theres a little yeastiness and an appealing spiciness (pepper, clove). Taste is fairly light, with the wheat, lemon, and a bit of malt mixed together. Refreshing and drinkable. Its not as spicy as it could be, but is very enjoyable. Its an accessible beer as well. My brother, a dedicated macro-drinker, really enjoyed this one.

My favorite BBC beer so far, at least of those that don't cost $12 a bottle.

Appearance: This one seems to glow. Unfiltered and a mellow orange to amber. Some head when first poured into my snifter, but faded quickly, leaving only a ring of white around the edges of the glass.

Smell. Not much. But as I always note, my sniffer at the best one out there. Slight fruity notes and perhaps a bit of the corriander.

Taste. Not the mass produced flavor I was expecting, or the one I find in Hoegarten. Strong fruity flavors, perhaps from the yeast, perhaps from whatever this beer was spiced with. As a pleasant amount of corriander. A slight sourness and/or bitterness in the finish. Leaves a rather strong bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Guess I should just drink more to wash it way :-).

Mouthfeel: a bit thin, but I feel this is acceptable for the style. Tingles the tongue.

Drinkability. This is the type of beer that begs for a second. Smooth and flavorful without being too strong or overwelming. A definate session beer.

This is a really good beer from boston beer. The taste and smell are unique. It has a deep, yet clean, fruity taste. I really cant compare it because i cant think of any beer remotely like it. I also taste some sweet spices. This is a real winner fellow beer drinkers. I don't think anyone could find disfavor with this as it is a very well balanced, flavorful and easy to drink beer.

I go out in my town with my girlfriend and expect to drink garbage beer. Much to my enjoyment, at the local chain restaurant, they had just tapped a fresh keg of sam adams white ale. a great beer when expecting to have to setlle for a yuengling or a guiness.

Tastes less spicy than Hogaarden. The flavor is a sweet, non-toasted maltiness/doughy with citrus peel notes. The spices are present, but in the background. It's not a bad flavor profile, just different. It's difficult for me to describe the spices since I haven't really run into this particular flavor before,

The body is medium, but is smooth and creamy. I seem to feel the sweetness more than actually tasting it.

This beer pours a cloudy orange color with a tall white head that fades somewhat slowly and leaves a small bit of lacing on the glass. Lots of citrus in the aroma along with some spice from the yeast. The flavor is a little spicy with a citrus hint and a nice fruity character. Smooth to drink. Nice mouthfeel. This makes for a nice witbier and I'll probably have it again if given the chance.

Pours a hazy, pulpy, peach with a soft whitish head. Smells of apricots, tangy yeast, metal, and coriander. Taste is crisp, tangy apricot wheat. A little lemon zest too. Turns wheat bitter with a yeasty finish. Lively, but also a little mouth coating feel. Not bad--better than Summer Ale--but still not what I would call a dead-on witbier.

Cloudy, yeastified orangish amber capped by a generous ivory-colored head that displays a moonscape surface, persists nicely and is tacky enough to leave an acceptable amount of lace as a chunky, short collar.

Bright, orange peel citrusy nose with an undercurrent of musky, slightly pungent spices. It doesn't smell nearly as spicy as most wits that I've had and I can't really appreciate the coriander/clove type scents at all.

The flavor is significantly less spicy too. The focal point is modestly sweet untoasted pale malt with citrus peel top notes. The spices are definitely in the background. It's difficult for me to adequately describe the spices since I haven't run into this combination of flavors before, but I have a feeling that the grains of paradise are what I'm tasting most vividly.

A smidgen of white pepper and a 'flowery' flavor are buried in there as well. While it isn't exactly the same, it's similar to a rose water-based beverage that I had at a Pakistani restaurant recently. The body is medium, yet is ultra smooth and almost creamy.

Samuel Adams White Ale is a different animal, that much is certain. I can't say that I prefer it to some of my favorite witbiers (Great Lakes Holy Moses, John's Generations White Ale, Avery White Rascal), but it has a smooth citrusiness and a combination of spices that I find appealing. I'll look for it again.

Had on tap at Uno's. Unos is a great place for some great pizza and especially since they carry Sam Adams. Usually they have the Sam Adams ale, and then a seasonal. At the moment it is the white beer. If you are expecting a white or wit beer like I was, you will be disappointed. This is nothing like a hoegarden, blue moon, or a celis white. This seems like a robust pale ale. It's not bad, and beats the hell out of the macros on tap (Coors light and such). The flavors are subtle, nothing jumps out, the most noticeable is a mild hop finish. Again, a robust, solid pale ale, but not a white or wit.

This is a decent witbier, although not as good as I had been hoping for. Usually the Sam Adams seasonals are good examples of the style, but this one is unimpressive. It is no better than, say, Blue Moon, or any other mass-produced witbier.

The beer appears an orangey white in my glass. The smell is of mild hops. The taste is, fortunately, the best part of this beer. It tasted to me sweet and fruity. The body is lighter than medium, and this beer seems go down very fast. To get the taste, I feel like I am taking bigger sips of the beer than I normally would. If the flavor of the beer were more rich, than I would be a much better experience.

Appearance  This one poured a beautiful, hazy orange in color with a monster head that I had to control at the pour. It came down pitting, leaving a whitish film all along the inside of my glass.

Smell  Theres a faint yeasty note that wants to come out, but the nasty grain overlay ruins the attempt.

Taste  This is all wrong. Theres a very simple grainy sweetness to the taste that Ive never had before. Not good.

Mouthfeel  This is big for a Witbier, a solid medium-bodied, with some good carbonation and a bit of fluffiness in the cheeks.

Drinkability  Ill call this one a near miss. If they can get that flavor down this will be a good beer. That may sound stupid saying that, If it only tasted better it would be good, but the other qualities of the style are historically difficult to achieve, and here they are well along.
